Constructor Detail

MutableFloat

public MutableFloat()

Constructs a new MutableFloat with the default value of zero.

MutableFloat

public MutableFloat(float value)

Constructs a new MutableFloat with the specified value.

Parameters:

value - a value.

MutableFloat

public MutableFloat(Number value)

Constructs a new MutableFloat with the specified value.

Parameters:

value - a value.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the object is null

Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue()

Gets the value as a Float instance.

Specified by:

getValue in interface Mutable

Returns:

the value as a Float

setValue

public void setValue(float value)

Sets the value.

Parameters:

value - the value to set

setValue

public void setValue(Object value)

Sets the value from any Number instance.

Specified by:

setValue in interface Mutable

Parameters:

value - the value to set

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the object is null

ClassCastException - if the type is not a Number

intValue

public int intValue()

Returns the value of this MutableFloat as a int.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type int.

longValue

public long longValue()

Returns the value of this MutableFloat as a long.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type long.

floatValue

public float floatValue()

Returns the value of this MutableFloat as a float.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type float.

doubleValue

public double doubleValue()

Returns the value of this MutableFloat as a double.

Returns:

the numeric value represented by this object after conversion to type double.

isNaN

public boolean isNaN()

Checks whether the float value is the special NaN value.

Returns:

true if NaN

isInfinite

public boolean isInfinite()

Checks whether the float value is infinite.

Returns:

true if infinite

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares this object against some other object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a Float object that represents a float that has the identical bit pattern to the bit pattern of the float represented by this object. For this purpose, two float values are considered to be the same if and only if the method Float.floatToIntBits(float)returns the same int value when applied to each.

Note that in most cases, for two instances of class Float,f1 and f2, the value of f1.equals(f2) is true if and only if

   f1.floatValue() == f2.floatValue()
 

also has the value true. However, there are two exceptions:

• If f1 and f2 both represent Float.NaN, then the equals method returns true, even though Float.NaN==Float.NaN has the value false.
• If f1 represents +0.0f while f2 represents -0.0f, or vice versa, the equal test has the value false, even though 0.0f==-0.0f has the value true.

This definition allows hashtables to operate properly.

Parameters:

obj - the object to be compared

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

Float.floatToIntBits(float)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Returns a suitable hashcode for this mutable.

Returns:

a suitable hashcode

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object obj)

Compares this mutable to another in ascending order.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

Parameters:

obj - the mutable to compare to

Returns:

negative if this is less, zero if equal, positive if greater

toString

public String toString()

Returns the String value of this mutable.

Returns:

the mutable value as a string
